Mountaineering Trips,  Training

Mt Rainier on Wilson/Nisqually Glacier

Mount Rainier is my ultimate goal.

Training up to 8000ft. Hopefully one day I make it to the top.😰😰😰😰

Highlights:

  • Jumping over crevasse is scary!
  • Going down is more difficult than going up (if you are fit)
  • You need glacier glasses that protects you from the sun light bouncing on all the snow
  • I wouldn’t do this only in 2, I think to be on a safe side you need 3 people tied in together
  • You need to time it right, at noon we heard a lot of rock falling as snow melts faster
  • Overall I was super excited even though I slipped twice and had to use my ice axe and crampons to stop myself rolling down into a crevasse.
